Literally everybody in my company (a large enterprise) uses a laptop as their main workstation. They work with them docked at their desks, but then unplug them to take them to a meeting room, a shared working space, etc.

Outside of work, 90% of people I know have a laptop as their main computing device at home. Very few have a desktop PC - those are the PC gamers.

Your anecdotal experience doesn't match with my anecdotal experience.



My anecdotal experience matches yours. I work for a smallish business in an active growth phase, and the onboarding process for every employee starts with "Welcome to the company, here's your laptop."


Right, which doesn’t actually contradict what I said in any way. I did not say that companies are giving out desktops, genuinely not sure why everyone is pretending to the contrary.
